Larry does an outstanding job at Booth Library. His years of dedication and service and wealth of knowledge in ILL is a tremendous asset. A HUGE THANK YOU to Larry for all he does to make EIU a better place!

I really appreciate the help Sam provided me in our search for high talent Graphic Design students. She invited myself and my team to join her class while allowing us to speak to her students regarding the position. This was so helpful, allowed students to ask questions in a safe space and just provided the best talent pool. We ended up finding what we were looking for and now have 2 new team members! We are so happy to welcome them in, see what they can do and couldn't have completed our goal without Sam's help. Thanks for always being willing to assist.

Jana is such a stellar Booth employee! She always goes above and beyond with ILL and does it with a smile! Thank you, Jana!

Dan is such a wonderful colleague! Always there to help and support.

She has been doing an amazing job meeting with students and families, and spending time talking with prospective students about their future at EIU.

Grateful to have colleagues like Lisa who make our programs stronger and our students feel seen and supported.
